The NBA All-Star break is coming, and while there isn’t a Nugget in the All-Star Game, Jamal Murray will represent Denver in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Murray participated in this game last year, winning the Most Valuable Player after a great performance for Team World. His stat-line for that game was an astonishing 36 points and 11 assists, including a few deep threes. The 20 year-old will be looking forward to potentially winning the MVP once again as he will play for Team World once again.

So what are the odds that Murray wins MVP again this year? Honestly, I believe that he has a pretty good chance to get it again, for a number of reasons. In this article I will be discussing the several reasons why we think Jamal Murray will repeat as the Rising Stars MVP. Without wasting anymore time, let’s get started.
